Debian Sid Moves to X.Org

Posted by CmdrTaco on from the politics-and-guis-oh-my dept.

debiansid writes "Yes, Debian sid finally has X.Org. The Changelogs suggest that some work has been taken from the Ubuntu packages of X.Org. Here is an article that gives details on how to migrate to X.Org on sid. This article, by the way, has been posted from an X.Org based X-Window System, and it really IS much faster than XFree86."

    Why, o why do they always make changing the C++ ABI such an effort? It takes some credibility out of C++ as a stable lower-level programming target if such a relatively frequently occuring change in the core obsoletes so much essential packages.

    (Oh and please, don't make any sharp remarks about the quality of C++ as a language that I have already swallowed ;-)
